«Sharpe's description (Cat. Birds Brit. Mus., x, p. 120) of the suppose<l "adult 

 mall' in winter plumage," from Duenas, seems more like that of the true T. thalnssina, 

 whic-h usually ha.s the back purplisli instead of green; but the upper tail-c<>vcrts and 

 rump are described as being "green and purple" instead of green alone, as in the 

 Mexican resident form. It is jjc^Jsible that both subspecies occur in Guatemala in 

 winter, but of course this can only be determined by «'xaiiiin;ttic.ii of s|)t'ciiiu'n.-^.
